The naturalized US citizen parents of a 31 year-old Argentinian green card holder now currently rotting in a private prison company facility contracted by ICE in Georgia tell the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “of course” they would not have voted for convicted felon President Trump if they knew what was going to happen to their son, who was locked up over a 2020 misdemeanor rap on a count of “infliction of injury” for which he’s already served a three year probation sentence.

North Carolinians Martin Verdi and Debora Rey told the AJC they bought into the Orange God Emperor’s rhetoric about Venezuelans, specifically the piece of shit who murdered Laken Riley.

“During the campaign he gave the example of many criminals from Venezuela who had come in, because many criminals from Venezuela had even killed people,” said Verdi, adding that “has nothing to with cases like” those of his his son, Agustin Gentile, who was detained in February after landing in California from a trip abroad. CBP confiscated his green card and Argentine passport.

The couple said “of course” they wouldn’t have voted for Trump had they understood that his hateful campaign was going to affect their family. “This was a massive deception what he did. Because the other side had shown us how indulgent they were (with immigration),” Rey said as her son survives on cup o’ noodles and is forced to sleep on a floor in a facility where the lights are kept on 24 hours a day, while their 6 and 8 year-old grandchildren have no idea when he’s coming home.

“They ask, ‘Where is my daddy?’ And we can’t tell them, ‘Daddy is in jail,'” Verdi said. “We had to lie to them because we don’t want to hurt them,” Rey, who voted to Make America Great Again, added.
